High  School  Course  of  Study 

Adopted  July  2,  1920 

COURSES  OF  STUDY — FOUR-YEAR  COURSES 

Studies  are  grouped  in  courses  for  two  purposes — indicat- 
ing to  parents  and  pupils  the  studies  which  best  prepare 
students  for  any  particular  vocation  or  profession ; and  giving 
opportunities  for  doing  more  extensive  work  in  certain  definite 
lines  of  effort. 

Studies  are  separated  into  required  and  elective  studies.  In 
order  to  graduate  from  a Chicago  High  School,  students  must 
meet  the  following  requirements : 

(a)  All  full  studies  required  in  the  particular  course  which 
the  student  has  chosen; 

(b)  the  partial  studies  required  in  the  particular  course 
which  the  student  has  chosen; 

.(c)  sufficient  elective  studies  (full  studies)  to  make  to- 
gether with  (a)  30  full  semester  studies;  and 

(d)  two  other  full  semester  studies  or  their  equivalent 
in  partial  studies. 

Students  preparing  for  college  should  select  in  addition  to 
the  required  studies  in  a particular  course  such  other  studies 
as  are  required  for  entrance  to  the  college  of  their  choice. 
Students  desiring  to  enter  the  Chicago  Normal  College  should 
consider  especially  the  requirements  for  entrance  to  such  col- 
lege (printed  elsewhere)  and  select  such  studies  other  than 
those  required  in  the  course  of  their  choice  as  may  be  needed 
to  complete  the  Normal  Entrance  requirements. 

NOTE — Electives  may  be  chosen  from  list  of  electives  on 
page  or  from  studies  specified  in  any  course. 

See  A and  B on  page. 

In  order  to  fulfill  the  above  requirements  for  graduation, 
the  student  may  offer  no  more  than  five  full  studies  scheduled 
as  first-year  studies,  and  five  full  studies  scheduled  as 
second-year  studies,  a total  of  20  full  semester  studies. 
The  remainder  of  the  32  semester  studies  must  be  taken  from 
studies  scheduled  as  third  and  fourth  year  studies. 

1.  GENERAL  COURSE 

The  General  Course  is  designed  for  those  who  wish  a gen- 


3 


eral  education  rather  than  a high  degree  of  specialization.  It 
prepares  for  college,  for  normal,  engineering  and  scientific 
schools,  and  for  business.  At  the  beginning  of  the  third  year 
the  student  may  select  one  of  the  two  courses  given  or  he 
may  arrange  his  program  according  to  the  requirements  for 
the  third  and  fourth  years  of  any  other  course.  If  he  does 
the  latter,  he  may  and  in  many  cases  must,  substitute  elemen- 
tary work  for  advanced  work. 

2.  SCIENCE  COURSE 

This  course  fits  for  the  science  course  in  any  college  or 
normal  school,  and  gives  an  excellent  opportunity  to  students 
especially  interested  in  scientific  subjects  to  pursue  them  in 
the  high  school.  In  this  course  one  and  a half  years’  work 
is  offered  in  each  of  the  following  sciences:  Physiography, 
Botany,  Zoology,  Chemistry  and  Physics.  In  addition  to 
these,  one-half  year  each  of  Physiology,  Geology  and  As- 
tronomy are  offered.  To  graduate  from  this  course  a pupil 
must  carry  six  years  of  science,  of  which  one-half  year  must 
be  Physiology. 

By  the  time  a pupil  reaches  the  third  year  of  his  course  he 
will  be  expected  to  decide  whether  his  major  work  is  to  be 
in  the  biological  sciences  or  in  the  physical  sciences.  A pupil 
must  take  not  less  than  one  and  one-half  years  of  biological 
science  and  not  less  than  two  years  of  physical  science. 

3.  COMMERCIAL  COURSE 

This  course  aims  to  give  students  an  education  which  will 
prepare  them  to  fill  satisfactorily  responsible  positions  as 
clerks,  bookkeepers  or  stenographers,  or  to  give  a good  educa- 
tion on  general  business  lines. 

4.  TECHNICAL  COURSE 

The  purpose  of  this  course  is  to  prepare  students  for  the 
technical  industries  and  for  normal  schools,  technical  schools, 
and  colleges. 

5.  ARTS  COURSE 

This  course  aims  to  prepare  students  to  become  efficient 
home  makers  and  also  to  prepare  for  lines  of  work  pertaining 
to  household  economics  or  the  textile  trades,  or  to  help 
students  interested  in  freehand  drawing,  design,  arts  and 
crafts. 

6.  ARCHITECTURAL  COURSE 

This  course  is  planned  for  those  who  desire  to  become 
architects,  or  to  do  work  in  drafting  rooms,  and  for  those 
desiring  a general  course  in  mechanical  drawing. 


4 


7.  COLLEGE  PREPARATORY  COURSE  IN  PHARMACY 

This  course  is  planned  for  those- who  desire  to  take  a four 
years’  high  school  course  preparatory  to  a college  course  in 
pharmacy  and  at  the  same  time  to  continue  their  apprentice 
work  with  druggists. 

TWO-YEAR  COURSES  IN  VOCATIONAL  SUBJECTS 

Two-year  courses  in  vocational  subjects  are  offered  in  the 
high  schools  for  those  who  do  not  expect  or  are  not  able  to 
take  a full  four  years’  course  in  the  school.  Each  two-year 
course  has  a major  subject,  which  receives  a specially  large 
proportion  of  time  and  credit.  A student  pursuing  such  a 
course  will  be  required  to  follow  it  as  outlined,  in  order  to  be 
well  fitted  for  the  occupation  into  which  the  major  subject 
leads.  Studies  taken  successfully  in  the  two-year  courses  will 
receive  credit  towards  graduation  from  the  four-year  course. 
To  receive  a certificate  from  any  two-year  vocational  course, 
a student  must  complete  satisfactorily  all  of  the  studies 
specified  as  required  and  elective  in  such  course. 

1.  COURSE  IN  ACCOUNTING 

This  course  aims  to  give  the  best  possible  preparation  which 
can  be  made  in  two  years  by  students  who  desire  to  do  office 
work  in  the  line  of  accounting;  that  is  to  keep  any  ordinary 
set  of  books  or  do  general  office  work,  not  including  short- 
hand. 


2.  COURSE  IN  PHONOGRAPHY  (SHORTHAND) 

It  is  believed  that  students  who  complete  this  course  satis- 
factorily will  be  able  to  fill  pbsitions  as  stenographers  in  an 
acceptable  manner. 

3.  COURSE  IN  MECHANICAL  DRAWING 

The  aim  of  this  course  is  to  give  a thorough  foundation  in 
the  principles  of  instrumental  drawing.  It  is  believed  that 
students  completing  this  course  satisfactorily  will  be  well 
fitted  to  fill  positions  as  draftsmen  in  machine  shops  or 
architects’  offices. 

4.  COURSE  IN  MACHINE  SHOP  WORK 

The  purpose  of  this  course  is  to  give  students  a knowledge 
of  the  elementary  principles  of  machine  shop  practice. 


5 


5.  COURSE  IN  ELECTRICITY  OR  AUTOMOBILE  SHOP 

This  course  aims  to  acquaint  students  with  the  elementary 
principles  of  Electricity  and  their  application,  such  as  electric 
wiring  and  testing,  the  manufacture  of  electrical  appliances, 
also  finding  the  cost  and  the  efficiency  of  the  same. 

6.  COURSE  IN  HOUSEHOLD  ARTS 

This  course  aims  to  fit  girls  directly  to  become  housekeepers 
or  to  earn  a living  as  seamstresses,  dressmakers,  milliners  or 
in  some  other  occupation  suitable  for  women.  The  course 
requires  one  year  of  cooking  and  one  year  of  sewing.

The  purpose  of  this  course  is  to  give  students  an  elemen- 
tary training  in  practical  printing. 

8.  COURSE  IN  AGRICULTURE 

The  purpose  of  this  course  is  to  give  students  an  elementary 
knowledge  of  care  and  culture  of  plants  as  applied  to  garden- 
ing and  farming. 

* * * * 

A.  Students  planning  to  enter  Normal  College  with  the 
intention  of  preparing  to  become  teachers  of  Manual  Train- 
ing, Household  Arts,  or  Drawing,  are  required  to  take  the 
full  high  school  course  in  Manual  Training,  Household  Arts,

C.  In  Music  the  equivalent  of  four  full  semester  studies 
will  be  allowed  to  count  toward  graduation  from  any  four- 
year  course  part  or  all  of  which  may  be  received  for  work 
done  in  the  regular  classes  in  the  school  or  for  work  done 
outside  of  the  school,  providing  the  work  done  outside  of  the 
school  shall  have  been  done  in  a school  accredited  by  the
